Liver is torpid the Bow

in the stomach undi-

ensues; a feeling Of lassi-

Metallic Pens.

The alleged discovery of bronze slit pen at Aosta, would indicate that the Romans used sort of metal pen beyond the stylus. The first unquestioned, def- nite reference to metal pen is in Dutch patent book, of 1717. About the same time the poet Pope, ill one of his odes, refers to a steel or gold pen. The first English pens were made in Birmingham, by MT. Harrison and Dr. Priestly, about a hundred years ago. Metallic pens were expensive and little used until the revolution in the manufacture about sixty years ago, caused by the invention of the hand screw press. The new ma- chine pierced the pens from sheet steel. Previously they had been made from steel rolled into tubes, the joint forming the slit. The best authorities name John Mitchell as the introducer of press- made pens, though that honor has been accorded to both Josiah Mason and Joseph Gillott. .-Penns1n's Art Journal.

How to Address the Preside nt.

For ninety seven years the country has grown in dignity, wealth and power under the simple constitutional title of the Chief Executive of the American R,public, until it eclipses all the high sounding designations of rank known to the vocabulary of monarchial institutions. All official communications or from strangers should therefore be addressed ''To the President, Washington, D. O. A letter from a personal friend should be addressed: "Grovcr Cleveland, Wash ington, D. o." without title.
 The President to all communications, whether official or personal, simply signs his name, without the usual com plimcntary closing as ''yours truly" or closing of respect, as Every respectful ly," used by all officials.
 The discussion of the subject of titles was commenced in Congress before the arrival of Washington in New York. In a letter of July, 17s9, to friend in Vir- ginia, the first president expressed his opposition to an additional title. It was urged that ''His High Mightiness," the title of the Stockholders of Holland, was his choice; but there is nothing to show that he ever cxpre ssed such an opinion.

 The elephant, on the contrary, is very intelligent, and his education would be easy but for his cumbersome weight, which forces the trainer to have recourse to cruel means. For instance, to make him raise and hold out his foot, an iron ring with sharp points is placed on it, and being drawn by rope the points enter the flesh. The elephant feeling the pain lifts up his foot and keeps it in the air till the pain ceases. After few repetitions he remembers the pain, and at the sight of the iron raises his foot. His instruction, thanks to his intelli- gence, is soon completed. Some elc- plants are taught in less than a fortnight to play on drum, work tricycle. and beg on their hind legs.-PuU MaU Go. .oY}

Both Sides.

A man in his carriage was riding along, A gaily dressed wife by his side; In satin and laces she looked like queen, And he like king in his pride, A wood-sawyer stood on the street = they
 passed;
 The carriage and couple he eyed, And said, as he worked with his saw on log, wish was rich and could ride" The man in the carriage remarked to his
 wife,
 "One thing would give if could I'd give my wealth for the strength and the
 health
 Of the man who is saving the wood" pretty young maid with bundle of work, Whose face as the morning was fair, Went tripping along with smile of dslight While humming love-breathing cir. Sbe looked on the carriage, the lady she saw, Arrayed in apparel so fine, And said in . whisper, "I wih from ny
 heart
 Those satins and laces wore mine" The lady looked out on the maid with hes So fair in her calico dress, And Tid, 'I'd relinquish position and
 wealth
 Her beauty and youth to possess" Thus it is in the world, whatever our law, Our minds and our time we employ In longing and signing for what ws have
 not,
 Ungrateful for what we enjoy.

The Word 0Hurrah.N

What was the origin of the exclama- ton "Hurrah'? There are few words still in use which can boast such re- mote and widely extended prevalence as this. It is one of those interjections in which sound so echoes sense that men seem to have adopted it almost instinct lively. In India and Ceylon the mahouts and attendants of baggage elephants cheer them on by perpetual repetitions of "ur-re-re!" The arabs and camel-dri- vers in Turkey, Palestine, and Egypt encourage their animals to speed by shouting 'ar-re, ar-re!" The Moors in in Spain drive their mules and horses with cries of "arre." In France tho sportsman excitcs the hounds by his shouts of "hare, hare!' and wagoners turn their horses by crying "harhaut!" The herdsmen of Ireland and Scotland shout '.hurrish! hurrish!" to the cattle they are driving. It is evidently an ex. camation common to many nations, and is probably corruption of "Tur aie" (Thor aid), a battle cry of the ancient Norsemen, though some authorities de- rive it from the Jewish ''Hosannah. The word is very often, and was form erly invariably spe.t ''huzza," and its pronunciation was t'hurray.

Before the Days of Tuning Forks.

The R.v. $. II. Fellows, of Norwich, Conn.,, has curiosity of 100 years ago, before the days of tuning forks. It is an instrument for raising tho pitch" in meeting and in singing school. It is rectangular box, made of eight inch ma hogany, five and one quarter inches long, two and three quarter inches wide and one and one eighth inches thick. At one end is little mouthpiccc and at the op- positc end slide, the size of the interior of tho box which regulates the pitch. Upon the edge of the slide arc the letters of tho scale and by pulling it out to the desired letter and blowing on the mouth piece, mellow, fute-like note is pro- duced. The instrument has a range of over an octave. It is trimmed with brass bands and artistica!ly inlaid with brass wire. Mir. Fellows inherited it
 rom his father, the R,v. Linus H. Eel lows, who preached ana taught singing school.

UPPER TABLE ROCK GONE.
Natures Forces Make Another Change in the Landscape at Mi agara.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Jan. 13, 1SS7.-That part of the rugged bank nearest the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, known as Upper Table Rock, fell at midnight last night, with a deafening clash that was heard, and the con- cussion felt more than mile away Thou sands of tons of solid rock fell into the gorge below and with it innumerable tons of ice
 The exact position of the break is between the Prospect House and the great Horseshoe Falls, just above the old Table Rock and next to the spiral stairway leading to the path be- hind the sheet of water.
 It was only by a miracle that the stairway wa. not entirely demolished. The govern ment iron railing, to length of about 159 feet, was carried away. It is at this very spot nearly all the visitors stand. Had this fall of rock occurred in the day time, undoubtedly loss of life would have been added.
 The formation of the precipice IS entirely changed. One can now stand on tho bank . above and sec behind the heavy sheet of water into 8 dark chasm. The rock was over 100 feet in length by about sixty feet In width and one hundred and seventy feet deep. One hundred and twenty-three thousand yards of rock is calc ulated to have fallen. Tho sup posed cause of the fall is the low water, the steady freezing weather of the past three weeks and the heavy weight of accumulated ice.

Killing q Bull Elk.

From an account of hunting trip in the Sierra Madre mountains, by Frank Wilkeson in tho New York 1Imts, we quote as follows: Late in the afternoon reached the wooded point near which the deer had been killed in the morning. I was exceedingly tired. I walked slowly up the hill to it's top, where the timber was sufficiently open to see through for 150 yards. There sat down behind a large boulder to rest and to smoke. While smoking I heard-a noise behind me. looked around the boulder and saw large, handsome bull elk standing motionless, with his head high in the air. His almost coal-black mane waved briskly in the breeze. My heart sprang into my throat, and there struggled and futtered. l drew my rifle around and pointed it at the elk, but I could not hold it on him. Trees, rocks, bushes filled the sights, and now and then the elk would spring over the sights in a most unaccountable manner. So l crouched down and waited until got hold of my nerves, and then again thrust the rifle around the rock. The elk was still there, looking through large, beautiful eyes at the blue moun- tains beyond the creek. He was not more than seventy-fve yards from me. I covered his forehead, and was just going to pull the trigger, when he quickly dropped his muzzle almost to the ground, drew in long breath, and threw his head high in the air, his mouth slightly open, his widespread antlcrs resting on his back, and bugled lovingly for a mate to come to him.
 Heard close by the note is not as sweet as when it is mellowed by distance. After bugling, the bull stood motionless, apparently listening intently. Again he bugled. I was no longer eager to kill him, but we were shooting meat, on the sale of which my comrade and his family depended for their winters provisions, so murmured to myself, ''Well, meat is meat. l will have to gather you in;" and then shot him through the head. I dressed him, and threw his liver and heart and lungs on the ground, where the parrots could get them to eat.

never been locked on in all the horrid scenes of Indian warfare. Both the ser want girl and tho child were carried of by some Indians who were fortunate enough to escape and were found the year following in the hands of friendly tribe, who had purchased them from the Comanches and brought them to trad ing post on the Red River. Mrs. White was buried near the pl ace where she died, Carson's men erecting cairn over the grave to prevent the wolves and coyotes from devouring the remains. That was a terrible fight. When Reed drew the arrow from his back, after finding the woman he had periled his life to rescue was past all hope, he called to his comrades to give up the chase of the fly ing Indians. Some of them returned .with boody hands, full of redskins scalps. Many of Carson's men were half-brceds, cross between French and Indian, and quite as savage as the h. dians they warred against, taking also the same pleasure in ghastly trophies as their enemies did. Some of the Co., manche squaws threw their papooses into the ravines and brush, hoping to make their escape and to return and re- gain their offspring; but the half breeds caught these papooses up by the heels and dashed their brains out against the stones. They considered this merci- full act, in way. The children would have starved to death or been eaten by the coyotes, so they concluded it was better to put them out of misery at once. Or, perhaps, they thought with the old Indian fighter, Gen. Kearny, who favored a policy of extermation. Such was the daring but unsuccessful attempt by Car son to rescue the white captives. The affair is still fresh in the memory of the old men, who can vouch for the truth fitness of the story of Kit Cars on's ride and the vengeance he took on the Go manches. It is only one of thousands of instances of Carson's voluntary brave at. tempts to aid those whose inexperienced or misfortune had brought them into the power of the merciless savage" ."-San F3uncisco Call.
